The reader is swept away by their multi-faceted love story, the shadow that has fallen across it, and the events they face together as they are reluctantly forced to flee China, embark on the dangerous voyage back to America, and try to make a new life for themselves in the frustrating, parched and inhospitable environment of Palm Springs, California.
